Josef Licari : Our duty is to help young people to face the challenges confronting them[09/11/2002]

Closing the Youth Ministers' Conference in Thessaloniki, the new Maltese Chairman of the Council of Europe Ministers' Deputies underlined that ''Open conflicts, the increasing number of acts of terrorism, social inclusion and unequal opportunities, are some of the challenges faced by young people. Our duty is to help them to find answers. To do so, the Council of Europe Youth field treats young people and political decision-makers in the same way, giving them the same responsibility in the decision-making process.''
